“I will go to Costesti as a player, to keep in shape on Sundays. I will not be a coach becasuse at Minerul there are no trainings. The players are going directly for matches. We are a total of 14-15 people. Once the City Hall will create a new team in Ramncu Valcea, I’ll apply for a coach position there. I will be training children” said Nanu for Liga2.ro
